A woman in a cream and orange sari with red blouse stands at left, ringing a brass bell and holding a small brass lamp over a golden offering tray during puja. Beside her, a large deity murti in a magenta and teal silk skirt, with a crown, trident and garlands of white flowers, stands on a green-draped altar. Brass oil lamps, a golden kalasha-style bowl of offerings, orange and white flowers, bamboo leaves and a red-and-gold pot decorate the shrine. The setting appears to be a temple room with pink curtains.
